THE FIVE BIGGEST CREEPS IN SPORTS

This past 365 days were loaded with reminders of just why so many figures in the sports world, individually or collectively, are considered absolute creeps. Without further ado let’s take a look at the five biggest creeps in sports in my opinion.

5. JOE PATERNO – I think it’s harsh when people use words like “doddering old fool” to describe Joe Paterno or to imply that he would lose a battle of wits to Grandpa Simpson so I won’t do that. However, I will point out that  Joe just seems to wander around the sidelines occassionally shouting at some red-haired guy whose only job may be to let Joe think he’s still in charge by listening to his rants for all I know (I’m kidding!). Joe should leave and let his assistants, who, by many accounts, are the ones Continue reading →

“THE OLLLLLLL’ SEXUAL HARASSER!” NFL FANHOUSE REPORTS BRETT FAVRE AND THE JETS ARE BEING SUED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT

  NFL Fanhouse reports that Bawlin’ Brett Favre and the Jets are being sued for sexual harassment. And not by Jenn Sterger at this point. Their report names two other women who are reporting behavior, which, if true, adds even more black marks to the “legacy” of a man I personally believe to be the most overrated figure in NFL history. When asked to speculate on an appropriately Favre-ian response I found myself saying “Aw, shucks, pigs and chickens! Ah just wanna play this here little game called football.”

“JENN WHO?”: MY FAKE Q AND A WITH THE INCREDIBLY FAKE BRETT FAVRE

Bret Favre crying while failing to comprehend why he's become such an object of contempt

 Well, “The Ollllllll’ Interception Machine” Brett Favre’s lack of cooperation with the NFL’s investigation of the Jenn Sterger matter has resulted in a whopping $50,000 fine for the increasingly repulsive- and increasingly infirm-looking –   quarterback. You just know somewhere Ben Roethlisberger must be kicking himself for not thinking of just stonewalling the investigation into the accusations against himself from Continue reading →
